Python REST API FortiManager API Multi-Vendor Custom Workflows

Custom Python Automation Frameworks in India

When off-the-shelf automation tools do not fit your specific workflow, Ogma builds bespoke Python automation frameworks — multi-vendor API orchestration, custom reporting pipelines, FortiManager bulk operations, ITSM integrations, and scheduled compliance checks. Fully documented, version-controlled, and handed over to your team.

What We Automate

Client-specific Python automation across network operations, security, reporting, compliance, and ITSM — for scenarios where off-the-shelf tools fall short.

FortiManager Bulk Operations

Python scripts using the FortiManager JSON-RPC API: bulk policy changes across 100+ FortiGate devices, software upgrade orchestration with pre/post health checks, ADOM management, and compliance report generation — all from a single script run.

Multi-Vendor Orchestration

Python orchestration frameworks that span multiple vendors in a single workflow — for example: detect a threat in FortiSIEM, query the asset database, block the IP on FortiGate via API, update the Cisco switch port ACL, and create a ServiceNow incident — in one automated pipeline.

Custom Security Reports

Python data pipelines that pull from FortiAnalyzer, SIEM, NMS, and ITSM APIs to generate tailored weekly/monthly security and operations reports — in PDF or Excel — without manual data collection.

Compliance Automation

Python scripts that query network device configurations via API or SSH (Netmiko/Paramiko), validate against CIS Benchmark or custom controls, and generate audit evidence CSV/PDF reports — replacing manual config reviews.

ITSM Workflow Automation

Python integrations between ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira, Freshservice) and operational tools — auto-enriching tickets with asset data, routing tickets based on CI attributes, or triggering remediation actions from ITSM approval workflows.

Data Migration and ETL

Python ETL pipelines for IT data migrations — CMDB population from network discovery, NMS data migration, log archive processing, or bulk data transformation between platforms during system migrations.

Our Development Approach

A structured four-step process that ensures the automation we build matches your exact requirements — with no rework and full handover.

1
Requirements Workshop

Ogma runs structured workshops to map the target workflow end-to-end: inputs, triggers, decision logic, outputs, error handling, and integration points. Ambiguity is resolved before a line of code is written.

2
Prototype and Review

A working prototype is built and reviewed with your team within 2 weeks. Feedback is incorporated before full development begins — avoiding late-stage rework.

3
Production Development

Full production code is written with error handling, logging, retry logic, and secrets management (no hardcoded credentials). All code is stored in a client-owned git repository.

4
Handover and Training

Ogma delivers full technical documentation and runs training sessions for your team — ensuring your engineers can maintain and extend the automation without ongoing dependency on Ogma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ansible covers standard IT automation tasks well — but it has limitations for complex, multi-step conditional workflows, proprietary API integrations, custom data transformation logic, and client-specific business rules. Python automation is the right choice when your workflow has conditional branching based on live data, requires integrating systems with non-standard APIs, involves data processing beyond simple configuration management, or needs a custom web interface or API endpoint for triggering automation.

Yes. Ogma has significant experience with the FortiManager JSON-RPC API — used for bulk device management, policy deployment across multiple ADOMs, automated health checks, and compliance reporting. We also use the FortiGate REST API directly for single-device operations, and the FortiAnalyzer API for log data extraction and reporting automation.

Ogma follows security best practices: credentials are never hardcoded. Production scripts use environment variables, encrypted config files, or external secret managers (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) for credential storage. API tokens are scoped to minimum required permissions and rotated on a schedule. All credential access is logged.

You do. All code developed by Ogma for client-specific automation is delivered to a client-owned git repository with full intellectual property transfer. Ogma retains no rights to client-specific automation code. The code is documented, and Ogma provides training so your team can maintain and extend it independently.
